There is a lot of discussion regarding artificial sweeteners and the reasons we don’t like seeing them in meal replacement shakes. One may ask the question, is it really that bad? Isn’t it better and healthier than using real sugar? Here we take a look at the reasons why this has become such a controversial ingredient.

We’ve all heard of meal replacement shakes, but you may be wondering why people choose this option. What exactly are these shakes and what benefits do they provide?
Well first of all, the easiest way to control your daily caloric intake is to be aware of exactly how many calories you are ingesting. The easiest and most efficient way of doing this is to go the pre-packaged or pre-measured food route. These pre-packaged options inform you of exactly how many calories you’re ingesting, which easily allows you to count your calories so you hit the amount of calories you want to ingest per day. Additionally, it is a fast and convenient option for those on the go – no more drive-in meals or skipping lunch!

We get asked this question many times over: Can I give a meal replacement shake to my child? Well, here’s what I think.
We all know that kids can be picky eaters. Heck, I was a picky eater when I was a kid and extremely skinny because of it. Giving a meal replacement shake to a picky eater is a great way for that child to get the nutrients that they need, while drinking something that tastes good. For this reason it is crucial to pick the right shake.

Well, protein blends provide a time-release effect when combing proteins that digest at a faster or slower rater. When you combine these proteins, you are adding benefits from all forms of protein and supplying your muscles with a constant and steady supply of amino acids. Blends are specifically formulated to be able to give you the perfect building blocks for strength and muscle gains. Studies have shown these benefits when combined into one powder, you will get the benefits all at once.

If you’ve tried meal replacement shakes already, you’ll know that sometimes, they don’t taste the best. There are simple things you can do to make your shake experience as pleasurable as possible:
1) Make sure it’s cold! Generally, cold shakes taste better than warm ones, so to make the most of your shake, make sure you blend ice into it or you keep it in the fridge before you are ready to drink it.

We know about why artificial sweeteners can be harmful, but have you ever thought about why we always encourage leaving good old fashioned sugar out of meal replacement shakes?
Recently we have linked sugar consumption to obesity, weight gain and diabetes, so it is very obvious that taking in a high level of sugar contributes to gaining weight. Many people have claimed that they have lost weight after removing sugar from their diet. Sugar has no real nutritional value...

Throughout our reviews on different meal replacement shakes out there, you may have noticed that we do not endorse the use of soy protein in the formulas. In fact, this lowers our overall rating in general. You might be asking why do we advise avoiding it so strongly?
In the past few decades, soy has gained popularity for being a healthy food option and a great meat substitute for vegetarians. Popularity rose as observation showed that Asian cultures that consumed high levels of soy had fewer health issues than the Western populations including breast cancer, prostrate cancer...
